    No-Bake Cheesecakes:

    No-bake cheesecakes are an easy and delicious way to celebrate any holiday, birthday, or regular 'ol Tuesday night.  They are so easy to make, only take a few minutes to make, and can be made ahead of time too. 

    There are a few no-bake cheesecakes that should be noted here.  If you haven't veered out of the normal or classic No-Bake Vanilla cheesecake, you're missing out.  This No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake is outstanding and this No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake is a fall and winter favorite.  

    This chocolate cheesecake is a favorite too.  It is a creamy chocolate mousse cheesecake recipe, no-bake, baby! We love drizzling a little Hershey syrup and a dollop of whipping cream on top, talk about decadent!

    If No-Bake Cheesecakes are your thing, there are a couple more you've gotta try.  This Easy Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust Pie or Nilla Wafers Recipe is a favorite around the holidays, and this Nutella Cheesecake is perfect for your Nutella Lovers. And of course, you can't go wrong with a classic No-bake Cheesecake and even try it with this Homemade Crust. There are so many great variations to try.

    Ingredients In No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake:

    • Cream Cheese- You can use the full-fat or the part-skim version.  The full-fat cream cheese has a little smoother texture and more of a deep flavor. 
    • Powdered Sugar- This works great to sweeten the cheesecake without weighing it down. 
    • Whipping Cream- Heavy whipping cream works great in this recipe.  When mixed with the cream cheese, it makes for a mousse-like texture. 
    • Cocoa Powder- This is what adds that lovely rich chocolate flavor. 
    • Vanilla-The recipe is great with a splash of real vanilla extract, but it'll taste great without it too.

    How to make a Cookie or Graham Cracker Crust:

    • In a Food processor, grate or pulse cookies or graham crackers until they are crumbs.
    • Melt butter in a pan or in the microwave.
    • Combine butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar, and mix well.
    • Press mixture firmly into a 9" pie plate or springform pan with a small flat cup or your hands
    • Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes or freeze unbaked for 10- 60 minutes.

    How To Make No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Filling

    If you're wondering how to make chocolate cheesecake, here are a few easy steps to get you there in no time. 

    • In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside. ( It will whip faster if the bowl is cold)
    • In an electric mixer with the beater attachment, beat cream cheese until fluffy. (Note: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature, or the mixture will be lumpy. You can microwave it for 30-45 seconds to soften if needed, but don't overheat until it's soft.)
    • Add the powdered sugar and Cocoa Powder to the cream cheese. Beat again until fluffy.
    • Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until light and fluffy.
    • Pour the mixture into a prepared graham cracker or cookie crust.
    • Refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to serve. (You can refrigerate this no-bake chocolate Pie recipe for up to 24 hours before serving. Enjoy!

        Each package of cream cheese is 8 ounces, so 16 ounces of cream cheese for the recipe.
